It certainly feels like there has been an unusually high number of snow days this winter and my heating bill is racking up faster than usual, a pretty good indicator of lower temperatures.

Tue, 06 Feb 2018 15:03:05 +0000http://scottishsceptic.co.uk/?p=9913#comment-90214According to French philosopher Descartes everything was subject to doubt (or scepticism) except for the one undoubtable truth – “cogito ergo sum” (I think therefore I am). In Scotland we were fortunate to have perhaps the greatest sceptic of all – David Hume. If only more of today’s politicians and “climate scientists” were familiar with our great philosophers and their inherent scepticism we might get a much greater emphasis on a logical and sceptical approach to knowledge and decision making.
